The FOX3 device is shipped password‑protected. The factory configured
passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial
number.
In the event of a complete system reset, the password converts to the default,
which is extron. New passwords must be configured to secure the device.
On password‑protected connections, there are two levels of protection:
administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all editing functions.
